Shouldn't we wait and see just how much the game has improved before asking this question?
If you take a look over at sim hq you will find that again the core game has not been changed but the graphics have been given a face lift. A new trend for sim publishers?
That is what the bean counters want, and they usually get what they want. Graphics to attract people in the shop, doesn't matter if that leaves little time to polish the rest of the game. I'm sure many developers would prefer to work on their games a little longer, but unfortunately they often don't have a choice
